The responsibility for good government in a democracy
rests upon all os us who are citizens -s- that is, directly upon
you and me. * We are the ones who make the choice. We
are free pople who select our own candidates. If they are
bad, we have no alibis, for we chose them. Ifi they are good,]
we can take the credit.
The choice of our leaders is our responsibility. We must
hojb-elect a mediocre man because -we like him, or because he
Js entitled to the job. We have done that too often in the
t, at too high a price. We must select our candidates not
from the bias of party, but on the basis of past record, ability
and character.
But we must not only select. We must be willing to
act; The express obligation of all men is to exercise their
right of franchise. Furthermore, we must be willing to
serve. If able men say they are "too busy" to run for local
offices they have only themselves to blame if they find nincompoops the incumbents at whom they rail -because of their
inefficiency. . **■
Popular government can only be maintained if the people
are able to govern themselves. This is a republic consecrated
to the ideals of democracy, not a master state. Any attempt
of the state to rule would mean the death of the nation.
-. '■ The men of our choice, must, like the prophets of old, be
capable of inspirational leadership in time of peace and in
time of crisis alike. "We must", according to the words of
the prayer *book, "make choice of wise legislators and faithful councilors, who, soberly, justly, and with a godly spirit.
may enact things just and wise and merciful for the benefit
of all people." They must be men whom we can trust - so
that we can confidently follow them. There has been too
much pleading and not enough leading in government.
. &reat_.is'.the..need f orjeader^ J3reat .is the need for, men
of vision"who can face facts with courage.Vsee things realistically, state truths honestly, accept responsibility humbly - and
never lose Sight of the unalterable" ideal upon which this
nation was built - a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
"O Thou, who didst touch the prophets' lips with fire,
mtod us Thy prophets for our dreadful days."
Sacrifice of Our Boys
It is a sad feature of the successful bombing raids by
British and American fliers, that a certain percentage of
these brave men and their wonderful planes are usually
missing.'on the return. The recent raid on the great'ball
bearing plants at Schweinfurt in Germany saw the sad loss
of 60 bombers from that daring and successful fleet.
We all mourn the superb boys who are absent when the
roll is called. Many no doubt descended in safety on parachutes, and will rejoin their families and friends again. To
those who have gone forever, the nation's warmest tribute
is given. They have brought nearer the glorious day of
peace.
Youth Anxieties
ilt was once characteristic of boys and girls that they
had-few things to be really anxious about. They had some
fears about passing tests, though some of them would have
t«ie better o worry more. As a whole they lived a care
ee'Iife, in which having a good time was the main objective for many. *'
Now someone speaks of the number of boys and girls
who' seem anxious about the uncertainties of the times.
Questions on how to get ready for military service, or how
to meet conditions after the war, leave many of them perplexed. If many fathers have to enter the armed services,
many children will have anxious thoughts about Dad. The
young, people will come out of any such anxieties stronger
and 'better able to cope with the -world. They have their
sports and pastimes which help them forget their anxieties
for a time... .
To Avoid a Post War Lag
Congress has a tremendous job ahead of it, and it is not
only a war,job. Much of it has to do with the postwar]
world, but it has to be done now.
First, drastic action is necessary immediately so that reconversion after the war to peacetime production will not
mean lags and unemployment. Economically there is no
need for such a lag. The backlog of orders will be there,
and more manpower will be available. What will be an.impediment is the government's lack of policy on such vitally:
imptortant questions as settling war contracts and providing
loans to protect contractors, especially the small ones.
, i •- These problems are not the fruit of idle conjecture. We
have the last war as a glaring example. At the end of that
twarrthere were 32,000 war contracts aggregating about five
ion. dollars, and despite the best efforts of government
re were still more than 7,000 unsettled contracts after, a
yeari The average time for settling claims taken to court
wasithree and a half years. *:
.•■Today there are 100,000 prime contracts and several
timies as many subcontracts aggregating from sixty billion
to seventy-fiyer^billion dollars. Time, production,, and. jobs
will be wasted unless machinery is set up promptly to provide;' forj.the^orderlyxtermiriation of'war effort when the*
time comesi

War Fund Drive
Closes Thursday
At a meeting held Tuesday afternoon at the Onesto hotel in Canton
workers on the War and Community
Chest fund learned that about 78
percent of the quota for Canton area
had been subscribed. The amount
noyv promised to canvassers is $384,-
640 yvith two days still to go. The
quota required from the Canton
area is $403,893. This leaves $109,253
.still to be solicited.
Because of pressure of election
duties canvassers have had scant
time in yvhich to visit prospective
givers. It should be borne .in mind
that this campaign closes Thursday
afternoon. Final reports must be
given by yvorkers to captains so that
said captains may turn in reports
at the Community building at 3:00.
The victory dinner yvill be held at
the Onesto hotel Thursday evening
at 6:30. All-reports must be made
bv chairmen at this time. The goal
to be reached by Canton is $493,893.
North Canton's quota in this amount
is $2,200. Up to date the response
has been none too- good. Canvassers
have not yet finished their yvork.
but it is believed the response yvill
be more generous when people realize that the time is short.

In the busy rush of war work with which we hope to
jpi-operly arm the men in this war, America will pause Thursday morning, Nov. 11, for a brief one minute to pay tribute to those who; sacrificed life of health for the sake of liberty twenty-five years ago. Memory casts a longing look behind in nostalgia for the day when we thought a permanent
peace had been won.
No thought that the armistice
was only what its name implied
clouded our joy that Nov. 11 in
1918, as we cheered ourselves
hoarse, paraded all day, and hilariously buried the Kaiser at eventide. Over the seas, weary but
jubilant doughboys climbed out of
trenches, to meet equally weary
German soldiers and make personal peace " between oppone n t s.
Church bells rang, sirens sounded,
confetti and crepe paper appeared
on the streets of war weary France
and people in general went wild
with delight.
We demanded that the boys be
got "out of the trenches by Christmas" — and we got them — only
to learn some twenty years later
that the war must be fought again
and that peace to be lasting must
ba righteous and just as well as enforced by armed might.
Looking-through a book of service records, one is struck with the
similarity, as well as the difference, between young men of the
two yvars. There is the same
frank expression and open face
that belongs to American boys, the
same camaraderie, and the jolly
self-confidence that only a doughboy knows. But there is a distinction. The army of„ 1918, although
actually older in years, appears in
it&Kgloup pictures much younger.
Their round, soup-bowl helmets
are worn with an" insouciance that
has no place in today's hard-purposed fighting men. Names like
the MaiTie, Meuse, Chateau-Thierry recall that hard fighting was
done in that time as well as today.
Indeed statistics show that a larger percentage of men yvere wounded and killed in 191S than in '43.
Perhaps it is that today's youth
has thought this, thing through
and has arrived at a more grim determination to do this- job to a
thorough finish. When war yvas
declared in 1917 the average school
boy had given little thought to the
conflict into which he was thrown.
There had been no Selective Service act such as was passed in
1940. Many a young man was
thrust into training camp almost
over night, scarcely knoyving what
the war was. all about. He was
sometimes .sent ovei-seas yvith lit-

Corbett Homes on' "Valley Boulevard Nor Uh and Souitti, Make a Good Luck Curve
Local Contractor Built 104 Houses
in Community for War Workers
A love of building, construction, and creation of beauty
and -utility, and above all, producing that atmosphere which
spells HOME has been the motive power in the life of Clyde
H. Corbett, North Canton attorney and realtor. He, perhaps,
more than any one other, person, has made an effort to solve
the housing problem which has faced North Canton in her
years of growth and more especially in the period which she
has devoted to war production. In spite of the busy hours
devoted to law and real estate selling, Mr. Corbett has found
time to build during the past sixteen years, in all, 104 houses,
mostly in the west side of the village. Fifteen are brick, the
others are double constructed frame homes.
In 1927, Mr. Corbett acquired a j -
30-acre tract on the yvest side of
town, which he proceeded to improve, divide into tracts, and build
upon. Planning most of the houses
himself, building to a scale small
enough that the house could be
purchased by people of modest
means, and making the homes really complete in every way, he sold
these buildings almost more rapidly than they could be completed.
Before .coming to North Canton'he
hacftbuilt-oTrer-a hundred homes in
Canton, during the previous ten
years.
Other tracts have followed this,
and each tract has been graded,
supplied with sewer, and other utilities, and had comfortable, though
modest homes constructed there.
Since 1936 all have been under
the F.H.A. Plan of supervision and
financing. The houses have storm
windows, as well.as storm, .doors;
some have automatic gas heating,
others are /supplied with .-efficient
coal furnaces. There are chrome
bath fixtures, linowall shoyver
baths, light roomy basements, adequate wardrobes, good lighting,
automatic water heaters, stationary laundry trays, fruit cellars,
and a hundred other features that
make life easier for the families
yvho occupy them.
Sinks have been kept at a standard yardstick-high level, and the
drain boards have stainless steel
edging. Linoleum covers the drain
boards and floor with coved base
in bath and kitchen. In spite of war
limitations, the homes have been
given an exquisite appearance both
inside and out. v
Homes are Modern
In recent years, each house has
been insulated under the roof and
beneath the floor of the upper
story, with rock-wool. This rock-
yvool is a product of limestone,
yvhich has been treated by steam
to produce a fluff. The looseness
of this wool helps to retain the
heat of the room below. It is a
noticeable fact that winter snow
remains on the roofs- of these
homes, because the heat from within does not penetrate the roof.
Most of, the houses have been
sold before construction was completed and in these homes the owner has been invited to select his-
own.decoratinf. -* Thus the interiors
have a.variedindivid,uality> ranging
from conservative cream and blue
to "the very original. One now under construction has one sidewall
of the kitchen enameled an off
shade of red which throws a rose
hue over the ivory and white of
the other surfaces.
Houses which are of recent construction are constructed of brick
to conform with the ruling of the
War Production Board of Feb. 10,
1943, after which no permits were
issued for frame dwellings. All
these new bricks have been sold
but one. There are five under construction, on Donner' Road, two on
South Main, and three on Portage
Street.
Grounds Landscaped
Building the new homes" has not
been the, major problem on the
hands of this developer of subdivisions. The land ip. the west end
of the town is hilly and is cut by a
ravine with a stream flowing thru.
It has been necessary to grade entire subdivisions, hauling the soil
from the higher ground into the
lower ground. On top of this the
builder has spread a rich top-soil
that permits of landscaping before
the lot passes into the hands of a
new owner. .Wherever possible the
original beauty-has been preserved.-
Trees of any size are retained and

War Fund Drive
Closes Thursday
At a meeting held Tuesday afternoon at the Onesto hotel in Canton
workers on the War and Community
Chest fund learned that about 78
percent of the quota for Canton area
had been subscribed. The amount
noyv promised to canvassers is $384,-
640 yvith two days still to go. The
quota required from the Canton
area is $403,893. This leaves $109,253
.still to be solicited.
Because of pressure of election
duties canvassers have had scant
time in yvhich to visit prospective
givers. It should be borne .in mind
that this campaign closes Thursday
afternoon. Final reports must be
given by yvorkers to captains so that
said captains may turn in reports
at the Community building at 3:00.
The victory dinner yvill be held at
the Onesto hotel Thursday evening
at 6:30. All-reports must be made
bv chairmen at this time. The goal
to be reached by Canton is $493,893.
North Canton's quota in this amount
is $2,200. Up to date the response
has been none too- good. Canvassers
have not yet finished their yvork.
but it is believed the response yvill
be more generous when people realize that the time is short.

In the busy rush of war work with which we hope to
jpi-operly arm the men in this war, America will pause Thursday morning, Nov. 11, for a brief one minute to pay tribute to those who; sacrificed life of health for the sake of liberty twenty-five years ago. Memory casts a longing look behind in nostalgia for the day when we thought a permanent
peace had been won.
No thought that the armistice
was only what its name implied
clouded our joy that Nov. 11 in
1918, as we cheered ourselves
hoarse, paraded all day, and hilariously buried the Kaiser at eventide. Over the seas, weary but
jubilant doughboys climbed out of
trenches, to meet equally weary
German soldiers and make personal peace " between oppone n t s.
Church bells rang, sirens sounded,
confetti and crepe paper appeared
on the streets of war weary France
and people in general went wild
with delight.
We demanded that the boys be
got "out of the trenches by Christmas" — and we got them — only
to learn some twenty years later
that the war must be fought again
and that peace to be lasting must
ba righteous and just as well as enforced by armed might.
Looking-through a book of service records, one is struck with the
similarity, as well as the difference, between young men of the
two yvars. There is the same
frank expression and open face
that belongs to American boys, the
same camaraderie, and the jolly
self-confidence that only a doughboy knows. But there is a distinction. The army of„ 1918, although
actually older in years, appears in
it&Kgloup pictures much younger.
Their round, soup-bowl helmets
are worn with an" insouciance that
has no place in today's hard-purposed fighting men. Names like
the MaiTie, Meuse, Chateau-Thierry recall that hard fighting was
done in that time as well as today.
Indeed statistics show that a larger percentage of men yvere wounded and killed in 191S than in '43.
Perhaps it is that today's youth
has thought this, thing through
and has arrived at a more grim determination to do this- job to a
thorough finish. When war yvas
declared in 1917 the average school
boy had given little thought to the
conflict into which he was thrown.
There had been no Selective Service act such as was passed in
1940. Many a young man was
thrust into training camp almost
over night, scarcely knoyving what
the war was. all about. He was
sometimes .sent ovei-seas yvith lit-

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heaid amid the guns below.

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and. were.loved, and. now .we, Jif**
In Flanders, fields.
Pake up our quarrel with the foe;
To you from failing- hands we throyv
The torch; be yours the task to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not steep, though poppies grow

AMERICA MAKES REPLY
Rest ye in peace, ye Flanders dead.
The fight that ye so bravely led
We've taken up. And yve yvill keep
True faith with you yvho lie asleep
With each a cross to mark his bed,
In Flanders fields.
Fear not that ye have died for naught.
The torch ye threw to us yve caught.
Ten million hands will hold it high,
And Freedom's light shall never die!
We've learned the lesson that ye tanght

Corbett Homes on' "Valley Boulevard Nor Uh and Souitti, Make a Good Luck Curve
Local Contractor Built 104 Houses
in Community for War Workers
A love of building, construction, and creation of beauty
and -utility, and above all, producing that atmosphere which
spells HOME has been the motive power in the life of Clyde
H. Corbett, North Canton attorney and realtor. He, perhaps,
more than any one other, person, has made an effort to solve
the housing problem which has faced North Canton in her
years of growth and more especially in the period which she
has devoted to war production. In spite of the busy hours
devoted to law and real estate selling, Mr. Corbett has found
time to build during the past sixteen years, in all, 104 houses,
mostly in the west side of the village. Fifteen are brick, the
others are double constructed frame homes.
In 1927, Mr. Corbett acquired a j -
30-acre tract on the yvest side of
town, which he proceeded to improve, divide into tracts, and build
upon. Planning most of the houses
himself, building to a scale small
enough that the house could be
purchased by people of modest
means, and making the homes really complete in every way, he sold
these buildings almost more rapidly than they could be completed.
Before .coming to North Canton'he
hacftbuilt-oTrer-a hundred homes in
Canton, during the previous ten
years.
Other tracts have followed this,
and each tract has been graded,
supplied with sewer, and other utilities, and had comfortable, though
modest homes constructed there.
Since 1936 all have been under
the F.H.A. Plan of supervision and
financing. The houses have storm
windows, as well.as storm, .doors;
some have automatic gas heating,
others are /supplied with .-efficient
coal furnaces. There are chrome
bath fixtures, linowall shoyver
baths, light roomy basements, adequate wardrobes, good lighting,
automatic water heaters, stationary laundry trays, fruit cellars,
and a hundred other features that
make life easier for the families
yvho occupy them.
Sinks have been kept at a standard yardstick-high level, and the
drain boards have stainless steel
edging. Linoleum covers the drain
boards and floor with coved base
in bath and kitchen. In spite of war
limitations, the homes have been
given an exquisite appearance both
inside and out. v
Homes are Modern
In recent years, each house has
been insulated under the roof and
beneath the floor of the upper
story, with rock-wool. This rock-
yvool is a product of limestone,
yvhich has been treated by steam
to produce a fluff. The looseness
of this wool helps to retain the
heat of the room below. It is a
noticeable fact that winter snow
remains on the roofs- of these
homes, because the heat from within does not penetrate the roof.
Most of, the houses have been
sold before construction was completed and in these homes the owner has been invited to select his-
own.decoratinf. -* Thus the interiors
have a.variedindivid,uality> ranging
from conservative cream and blue
to "the very original. One now under construction has one sidewall
of the kitchen enameled an off
shade of red which throws a rose
hue over the ivory and white of
the other surfaces.
Houses which are of recent construction are constructed of brick
to conform with the ruling of the
War Production Board of Feb. 10,
1943, after which no permits were
issued for frame dwellings. All
these new bricks have been sold
but one. There are five under construction, on Donner' Road, two on
South Main, and three on Portage
Street.
Grounds Landscaped
Building the new homes" has not
been the, major problem on the
hands of this developer of subdivisions. The land ip. the west end
of the town is hilly and is cut by a
ravine with a stream flowing thru.
It has been necessary to grade entire subdivisions, hauling the soil
from the higher ground into the
lower ground. On top of this the
builder has spread a rich top-soil
that permits of landscaping before
the lot passes into the hands of a
new owner. .Wherever possible the
original beauty-has been preserved.-
Trees of any size are retained and
the beauty of -the stream remains
intact. Evergreen"- shrubbery has
been planted,'' terraces* sodded,
